As usual, Tracey was right because it's bloody gorgeous ♥️🎶🎶🎶

Body Language - "Social Studies"

Upbeat, hippie sounding, indie pop from Brooklyn. Fun little album.

BNJMN - "Plastic World"
2011

Some deep house from Germany. This album has a hard edge to it, without actually all out becoming hard, if that makes sense.

#5debutalbums1014 Landshapes - Rambutan (2013) Big harmonies are a welcome part of Landshapes' USP. Indie pop songs that build and build and then cut you off at the knees. Warpaint with a bit more oomph and extra welly. #NowPlaying #MusicSky

#5debutalbums1014 TOY - Toy (2012) Must admit I bought this as there was a buzz about the band. It hasn't troubled the CD player much in recent years. Dreamy, psychedelic and motorik/CAN-like in places. Great through headphones if you get what I mean. #MusicSky

Giving a little more thought to #5debutalbums1014 this evening.

I'm reminded that it was a fantastic period for debut electronica releases.

These are two that will almost certainly make my cut, both who've gone on to sit amongst my favourite producers x
